Allowable Load for Bridges using Structural Carbon Steel when Column Ends are Pinned Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Allowable Load = (15000-(1/3)*Critical Slenderness Ratio^2)*Section Area of Column
Q = (15000-(1/3)*L|r^2)*A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Allowable Load - (Measured in Pound) - The allowable load is the load which induces the maximum permissible unit stress at a critical section of a structural member.
Critical Slenderness Ratio - The critical slenderness ratio is the ratio of the column length in meters, millimeters, and inches to the least radius of gyration in meters, millimeters and inches. The value ranges from 120-160.
Section Area of Column - (Measured in Square Meter) - The section area of column is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Slenderness Ratio: 140 --> No Conversion Required
Section Area of Column: 81 Square Inch --> 0.0522579600004181 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = (15000-(1/3)*L|r^2)*A --> (15000-(1/3)*140^2)*0.0522579600004181

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 442.45072800354

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

200.692274327791 Kilogram -->442.45072800354 Pound (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

442.45072800354 ≈ 442.4507 Pound <-- Allowable Load

What is Allowable Load?

The allowable load is based on the application of a safety factor to the mean result of laboratory testing to failure (ultimate load), regardless of the controlling failure mode observed in the tests.

Define Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05-2.1% by weight. The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states:
- no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect,
- the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40%,
- or the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65%, silicon 0.60%; copper 0.60%
